Following up from last month’s post, here’s the other half of why I founded Cloud Dine Systems.

I did it to create the change I want to see in the world and to make a place I would love working at.

Most business organizations today are hierarchical. I call them Taylor organizations since Frederick Winslow Taylor pioneered their workings around the turn of the century in “The Principles of Scientific Management”. They focus on specialization, top down communication, and foremost, efficiency. Unfortunately, they are characterized by slow reactions, turf wars, unempowered employees, and poor communication. It’s very difficult for these types of organizations to innovate.

The world is changing more quickly than ever and Industrial Age, Taylor organizations cannot keep up. The Information Age requires a new type of organization.

Financially transparent through open book accounting with every partner sharing in the profits and held accountable by their peers.

This type of organization is much more nimble, empowering, and ultimately, I believe, more profitable than traditional Taylor organizations. Part of the reason I founded Cloud Dine Systems is to prove this and create a place I love to work at.
